I'm often surprised at how many people think my diet is so great, it may be healthy but it is a diet that I have produced on my own. Almost six years ago I got a crash course in nutrition, I was told that soda, chips and most foods I loved were not doing anything for my body. I was told to cut red meat and processed foods from my diet. It took a while by my healthier diet took shape and helped me tremendously for a good five years.

I believe that I'm ready to take the next step, I have a learned how to balance everything in my life and keep running and cycling a part of it. I love to race and I know that I have work to do to get better, my first step is finding a diet that helps me as an athlete. To do this I have emailed a good friend that will help me to find a good sports nutritionist. I need a diet plan, I know that eating a Kind bar and a glass apple juice probably isn't the best to fix a low. I have a feeling that eliminating lows will be big if I want to change my diet. That is just a guess but I believe having blood sugars between 100 and 160 will be huge if I want to maximize my potential as an athlete with diabetes.
